"Find me a few soldiers who are familiar with the mountain road, and you can set off for Xiaojiang Village!" Tang Mingqi endured the sourness in his throat and commanded in a deep voice.

"Huh?!" Vice General Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded, "The last general obeys the order!" ”

However, in the time of a stick of incense, Deputy General Zhang acted vigorously and prepared the horses, soldiers, and dry food.

Tang Mingqi sat in the tent, his eyes widened, making it impossible to tell whether he was sleeping or resting. Vice General Zhang lifted the curtain of the tent and glanced inside, seeing that the man's expression was full of exhaustion, and he hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should enter the tent or not.

Just when he hesitated, the people in the tent suddenly opened their eyes, and a chill burst into their eyes, which made Vice General Zhang, who looked at the five big and three thick, and the body as strong as a bear, stunned.

Tang Mingqi saw that it was him, his expression changed, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Ready?" ”

Vice General Zhang hurriedly replied: "Yu Shizi, you can set off at any time!" ”

Tang Mingqi nodded, propped himself up, and walked out of the tent with slightly heavy steps.

At the entrance of the town, eight lightly armed soldiers, dressed in smocks, carrying water bladders and dry rations, carrying knives, stood in unison beside the horses.

Tang Mingqi glanced at a few of them and said, "One person leads the way, and set off immediately!" ”

Several people arched their hands and said, "Obey!" With that, he turned over his horse and galloped along the official road in the direction of Huachuan Mountain.

Riding alongside Tang Mingqi was a dark-faced young man with dark eyes and a muffled voice.

When the group arrived at the foot of Huachuan Mountain, the young man reined in his horse and asked Tang Mingqi for instructions: "Yu Shizi, there are two roads up the mountain here, one is more stable and can be ridden, but you need to detour some long roads, and there is a wild road, the mountain is steep, but it is better to be close, and it can be reached in less than half a day. You see......"

Tang Mingqi almost didn't think about it, and directly ordered: "Abandon the horse and take the wild road." ”

"Yes."

The group dismounted one after another and hurried up the mountain along the wild road, which was not a road at all.

Heavy rain for days, slippery and muddy on the mountain. The few soldiers who followed Tang Mingqi originally thought that the prince in front of him was a delicate and noble master, but they never thought that he was not afraid of these at all, but he walked faster than several of them.

As it was nearly noon, the rain gradually faded, and only the rain was like cow's hair, which drifted in the wind.

Tang Mingqi looked at the dense forest in front of him, and his expression became more and more solemn: "How long will it take to arrive?" ”

The young man took a step forward and pointed to the forest in front of him: "Wear this forest, it is Xiaohua Mountain." Is the prince tired? ”

Tang Mingqi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Speed up and strive to enter the mountain before noon." ”

"Yes!" The young man was slightly stunned and replied.

He, a person who exercises with heavy marches every day, feels a little out of breath, but this prince is a person who can persevere.

The rain stopped, and the fog rose in the forest, and the march became more and more difficult, but fortunately, the boy did not miss a step along the way, and finally entered Xiaohua Mountain in the middle of the day.

Xiaohua Mountain is lower than Huachuan Mountain, and now the flood has not reached the halfway point of the mountain.

There were a lot of bubbling white corpses floating in the water, and there were even a few faces that he had vaguely seen. A wave of panic filled his chest, tearing at his internal organs one by one.

"Go your separate ways, find someone, and one counts as one. Life or death! His voice trembled slightly, even the breath he exhaled.

Several people received the order and instantly drilled into the mountains and forests.

Tang Mingqi shook his body, leaned on the ancient tree next to him, and coughed out a mouthful of fishy sweetness......

Luan'er, you can't have anything to do, it was my fault that day, I shouldn't have left you alone, I still have something to ask clearly, and I still have something to say to you......

Three days ago, Xiaojiang Village.

The torrential rain continued for two days, and the rain continued to increase. Zhao Siye went out early, first went to the banks of the Huachuan River to see the rising tide of the river, and then went to the town to buy a lot of dry food and clothes in case of emergency.

Finally, on the night of the third day, Zhao Siye saw that the rain was not good, packed up all the dry food and a few animal skin blankets, and woke up the sleeping Su Luan and Ren Ci: "Put on the clothes, let's go up the mountain, this rain is too fierce, the Huachuan River is in disrepair, I'm afraid I can't stand it tonight!" ”

Su Luan frowned, a little worried: "Go to the mountains to take refuge, won't you encounter a landslide?" ”

"Xiaohua Mountain is lush with vegetation, mostly mountain rocks, and it is very reliable!" Zhao Siye replied casually.

Su Luan snorted, and then remembered that this is Da Jin, and it is not the 21st century, where are people digging mountains and mining, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, she has really seen too much news.

Seeing that she was a little stunned, Zhao Siye urged: "Move faster, I'm afraid it'll be too late if you delay any longer!" ”

Su Luan got dressed, walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked down the mountain, and his heart tightened. She bit her lip, hesitated again and again, and finally spoke: "Fourth grandfather, you go up the mountain first, I have to go back to the village for the first time!" ”

"Don't die?! If the water rises, it's no joke! I remember you don't know how to water! Zhao Siye looked at her with a serious face.

Su Luan shook his head and said stubbornly: "It's okay, I'll go and come back quickly." With that, she rushed into the rain and ran briskly down the hill.

Zhao Siye stretched out his hand to stop him, but was pulled by Ren Ci: "Grandpa Guo, her temperament is ...... Unstoppable ......"

Zhao Siye glanced at him, then turned his head to look at the petite figure that was quickly shuttling through the forest, shook his head, and sighed: "That's it, let's go up the mountain first." ”

In fact, Su Luan didn't have to go down the mountain, but she just couldn't let go of it in her heart.

I can't let go of the people in that village, nor the hairpin he gave her and the treasures in that house.

She doesn't have any righteousness in her heart, and she doesn't have the merit to save someone's life and create a seventh-level floating slaughter.

It's just that she can't bear it, after all, there are not a few people in the village who have watched her grow up, and if she is swallowed by a natural disaster, she will stand by and watch, and she will always feel uneasy about her conscience.

When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she went straight to Li Zheng's house, and smashed the door frantically in the rain: "Grandpa Lizheng, sister-in-law of the Zhou family, open the door!" ”

shouted three times in a row, and the voice of answering the door came from inside, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family was wearing clothes, holding an umbrella and opening the door, and looked at her sleepily: "Sister Luan, what's wrong in the middle of the night?" ”

"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, the matter is urgent, I can't explain it to you more, you let Grandpa Lizheng quickly sound the gong and let the people of our village hide in the mountains, the rain is too fierce these days, the river is in disrepair, I'm afraid it won't last long!"

The sister-in-law of the Zhou family chuckled in her heart, and she fell asleep in an instant, not that she blindly trusted Su Luan, but that someone from her mother's side came over a few days ago to say this, and she didn't care too much.

Now that she said this, she woke up and hurriedly responded: "I'll go, I'll go!" ”

"That sister-in-law, I'll leave this matter to you!" After saying that, she hurried in the direction of her yard despite the rain.

She entered the door, went straight to the desk, held the hairpin in her hand, rubbed it with red eyes, and then stuffed it into her sleeve pocket. Then he dragged out two empty porcelain jars from under the bed, stuffed all the manuscripts and silver tickets in the cage into the jar, and then sealed the lid firmly with hemp rope and stuffed it directly into the stove in the clean room.

In the end, she took out the dagger that Tang Mingqi had left for her self-defense from under the pillow, and quickly walked out of the yard, without looking back, all the way to the mountain.

As soon as she walked not far away, she saw Ren Ci and Zhao Siye picking her up halfway, and they were relieved to see her coming.

And in the rain behind her, there were faint gongs after gongs.

The old man Li Zhengzhou woke up a group of villagers while striking the gong.

However, there is no basis for their words, and most people are simply unwilling to leave their belongings and flee. He even sneered at the exhortations in his mouth to go up the mountain to take refuge, and even laughed at him for being old and timid.

In the end, only a few families went up the mountain with Li Zheng's family, Li Zheng stood halfway up the mountain, looked at Xiaojiang Village in the heavy rain, and said: "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, the old man is worthy of his heart, worthy of the big guy!" ”

Dark clouds rolled, wind and rain howled, and the embankment of the Huachuan River finally broke.

The head of the water mixed with sediment and swept over the riverbed and the embankment with the galloping momentum of thousands of horses. The rolling torrent roared into the crop land, and the people's fields and houses instantly flooded the entire Xiaojiang Village......

The cries and cries for help suddenly disappeared in the turbulent torrent and disappeared......

The villagers who took refuge on the mountain looked at the ocean below the mountain from afar, looked at the white mist, listened to the sound of the uproar, and were stunned, their faces as pale as paper.

If it's a step late...... One step later, they ......

The aunt of the Zhou family hugged her little grandson who was crying loudly and kept coaxing. Everyone seemed to be awakened by this cry, and threw grateful eyes at Old Man Zhou.

Old Man Zhou sighed: "Let's go, big guy, find a cave to hide, don't get sick from the rain......"

On the other side of Xiaohua Mountain, Zhao Siye took them through the bushes and into a cave. There were a lot of dry branches and hay piled up in the cave, and it seemed that it had been prepared for a long time.

Zhao Siye took out the animal skin blanket wrapped in his coat and spread it on the haystack in the cave: "Rest!" Make a fire in the middle of this for a while, warm and warm. ”

Ren Ci looked around and said worriedly: "This is far from the deep mountains, the rain is so heavy, there will be no wild beasts coming, right?" ”

Fourth Master Zhao glanced at him and said, "This realm was occupied by the old man a long time ago, the entrance of the cave has been sprinkled with bear blood, and the smell is heavy, and ordinary beasts dare not come over." ”

Ren Ci nodded, and sat down to the side. Although his body regained his strength, he was still poisoned in the end, and his face was still not good-looking.

Although Su Luan didn't want to see him, now that everyone is in the same boat, he still has to give full play to the spirit of collectivism of unity and friendship.

"Doctor Ren, your face is very bad, do you want to eat something?"

Ren Ci turned his head, looking at her with a somewhat complicated look, and only after a while did he ask her, "You don't blame me?" ”

Su Luan chuckled, it's all at this time, what do you care about? ! What a big heart!

Seeing that he was looking at her seriously, Su Luan cleared his throat and said, "Strange! But, whether I was on guard for a long time, or your conscience found out, didn't you still fail to attack me in the end?! Blame you, but don't expect you to die......"

Doctor Ren smiled bitterly and said, "You are honest......"

Su Luan rolled his eyes and snorted, not honest?! Could it be that she wants her white lotus possession to tell him to forgive you?! She is a stingy person, the small account book has been recorded, so don't think that she can write it off for no reason!
